Description

Fast Track to Java 17 and Object-Oriented Development is an intensive, hands-on course designed for programmers with prior coding experience (no Java knowledge required). This course provides a deep dive into Java fundamentals, object-oriented principles, and modern development practices.

Covering Java’s latest features, including Java 9+ module structures and enhancements in Java 11-17, participants will gain a solid understanding of Java programming and best practices for creating efficient, well-structured applications.

Training Objectives

• Participants will:
• Understand Java’s importance
• use cases
• strengths
• and weaknesses.
• Learn about the Java release cycle and Long-Term Support (LTS) versions.
• Master Java syntax and language fundamentals.
• Develop
• compile
• and execute Java applications.
• Use JShell (Java 9+) for interactive programming.
• Apply object-oriented programming (OOP) principles.
• Create well-structured Java classes with encapsulation
• inheritance
• and interfaces.
• Utilize composition and delegation in object creation.
• Organize and modularize code using packages and Java 9+ modules.
• Implement interfaces and abstraction techniques.
• Follow best practices for clean and maintainable Java code.
• Work with core Java libraries (java.lang
• java.util).
• Handle errors effectively with exceptions.
• Access databases using JDBC and JPA.
• Leverage Java Collections Framework and new API features from Java 9-11.
• Utilize type inference and other advanced Java 11-17 features.
• Explore basic I/O streams (optional topic).
